[Verse 1]
I'm light as a feather
But tenser than ever
It's probably nothing
But possibly something
And there on the TV
I watch the wave breaking
It's possibly ending
But probably just starting
[Pre-Chorus]
And the power goes down
And the mob comes out
That's history
[Chorus]
I'm probably sleeping
I'm most likely dreaming
I fly above the city
And take in the whole scene
The lights in the buildings
I know that they're fires
I'm watching us burn down
This dirty empire
[Verse 2]
Somewhere in D.C
I imagine he's speaking
But nobody's listening
They're already drifting
And up in the tower blocks
They're plotting a downfall
He'll say that it's nothing
But trust me it's something
[Pre-Chorus]
And the power goes down
And the mob comes out
That's history
[Chorus]
I'm probably sleeping
I'm most likely dreaming
I fly above the city
And take in the whole scene
The lights in the buildings
I know that they're fires
I'm watching us burn down
This dirty empire
